Dear Gordon and Family,

We are very sad to hear everyone has lost Colleen.  She was an amazing presence around anyone who met her and will be sadly missed by too many people.  We feel very fortunate to have lots of wonderful memories of our times spend with her.  She will remain in our hearts.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
